Hello List, I’m having some performance issues on a site based on Radiant. > **[TransIP - Reserved domain](http://www.ffinfo.nl)** > > TransIP - Reserved domain It’s running on Radiant 0.6.2 Sample in the log: Processing SiteController#show\_page (for 66.249.65.136 at 2007-11-14 11:52:20) [GET] Parameters: {“url”=\>[“nl”, “vliegbinden”, “gastbinders”, “arnold-woerts”], “action”=\>“show\_page”, “controller”=\>“site”} Completed in 4.88098 (0 reqs/sec) | DB: 0.17913 (3%) | 200 OK [ [TransIP - Reserved domain](http://ffinfo.nl/nl/vliegbinden/gastbinders/arnold-woerts/)] Processing SiteController#show\_page (for 66.249.65.136 at 2007-11-14 11:58:43) [GET] Parameters: {“url”=\>[“nl”, “vliegbinden”, “gastbinders”, “gerd-peter-wieditz”], “action”=\>“show\_page”, “controller”=\>“site”} Completed in 4.94082 (0 reqs/sec) | DB: 0.13819 (2%) | 200 OK [ [TransIP - Reserved domain](http://www.ffinfo.nl/nl/vliegbinden/gastbinders/gerd-peter-wieditz/)] Seems that it takes almost 5 secondens! to render a page. How can I measure my site so I can boost the performace? BTW It;s hosted on slicehost on a 256 slice. Thanks ---

Your site (nice work!) looks mostly static, you can try the snapshot extension: [http://lists.radiantcms.org/pipermail/radiant/2007-October/006823.html](http://lists.radiantcms.org/pipermail/radiant/2007-October/006823.html) Still is a preview, but it should be usable. Hope to find a moment to release it soon… ``` /AITOR ``` On Nov 14, 2007 1:02 PM, Peter B. [removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid](mailto:removed_email_address@domain.invalid) ---

Thanks, I will check that out, looks really promising. Peter.

I’m slowly moving all my Radiant apps over there and this is good knowledge to have. ---

Peter, Are you using mongrel\_cluster? If so, I would make sure you don’t run more than 2 mongrel processes. On an app I worked on this summer that was hosted on a 256 slice, we would have major problems if we ran more than two, our app would screech to a halt after about an hour of hitting various actions. FYI, [seancribbs.com](http://seancribbs.com) runs Radiant on a 256 slice with only one mongrel. I have yet to have a problem with it. Cheers, Sean ---

I think I run 4 mongrels, so that should be brought back to two. I also use Apache which has to be replaced with nginx or something else. Thanks for the headsup!

If you guys are concerned about performance, please search the mailing list for Daniel’s most recent benchmarks. He’s done a great job making sure Radiant’s cache performance is stellar. Sean
